Should I buy 2011 Yukon XL with 137k miles?

[jeffisgreat]

Looking to buy a Yukon XL or Suburban for main family car.
We drive about 20k miles a year with lots of camping and one or two 2,000 miles trips a year.
4 kids and a couple dogs.
We are looking at a 2011 Yukon XL with 137k for $25k.
Perfect black color and clean interior. The price is right but miles are scary. Thoughts and opinions on buying a 3 year old truck with 137k miles? Picture wouldn't post

Other options are
2008 Yukon XL Denali with 81k for $27k
Or looking for a 2009 Suburban with under 60k miles

I would take the 08 Denali with 81k. But I bought my 04 with 70k on it vs a newer one with 130+ for a little less money. I'll take a couple years older with a bunch less miles

It's always a toss up.

Any problems can happen at any mileage. Some make it some just don't.

In this case though the 2011 had been driven a lot of miles in a shorter time frame.

When is the I'm service date? Almost 33k a year.

I would get a older truck with less miles and have it certified

Also....... engines and transmissions aren't everything. Mileage accounts for wheel bearings suspension parts ac problems etc.

I would look closer at the 08. If its been kept up well, the 08 may be less problematic in the long term.
